Maybe because it got lost between all the other stuff you wrote?
no, i think it "got lost" because it was buried under minutiae. and it is _still_ being subjected to attempts to bury it...
Ah, I see you mean:
you can take an average p-book from scans to e-book in one evening.
well, a better phrasing of that main point might be that "_any_average_person_ can do an average book in an evening..." and the follow-on point would be this: "...so let's start informing the people who might wanna do a book, once the avalanche of scanned-books arrives, so they'll realize it is within the realm of possibility; let's stop spreading the false meme that it's difficult."
Well that's great, so start going:)
it's wiser for me to build the tool that enables people to do a book in an evening, rather than spend my time doing books... but yes, i will "start going" on that, right away! just as soon as i help jon find the rest of his errors. (as i'm sure you realize, those two go hand-in-hand.) but really, there won't be a need for that tool _until_ after the avalanche of scanned-books becomes available. most people just won't be motivated enough to do a book until there is a scanned-book they want to have as text. until then, i'm in no hurry. been working on this tool for well over a year now. no reason to rush things. just waiting for jon to get some more books scanned... ;+) -bowerbird
